    摘要: A system includes a digital-to-analog converter comprising a plurality of unit elements, and a dynamic element matching encoder coupled to the digital-to-analog converter. The dynamic element matching encoder includes a circuit configured to determine a number of unit elements of a digital-to-analog converter to be transitioned (Ntm), determine a first number of unit elements to be turned on, and determine a second number of unit elements to be turned off. The circuit may further generate a first signal identifying individual unit elements of one or more unit elements of the digital-to-analog converter in the off state to be turned on, and a second signal identifying the individual unit elements of one or more unit elements of the digital-to-analog converter in the on state to be turned off.

    摘要: A system includes a first circuit configured to provide a digitally pre-distorted input signal, a digital-to-analog converter including a number of unit elements, a digital input, and a digital output. Each unit element is configured to receive a reference voltage and to be controllable by a control signal provided in response to the digitally pre-distorted input signal. The digital-to-analog converter provides an analog output. The first circuit is configured to reduce distortion due to signal dependent changes to the reference voltage. The signal dependent changes can be due at least in part to current through the supply network that supplies the reference voltage. The digital to analog converter can be a voltage mode converter.

    摘要: A circuit for inductive peaking may include a driver, an inverter, a resistor between an output node of the driver and an input node of the inverter and a switch. For example, a first node of the resistor may be connected to the output node of the driver and a second node of the resistor may be connected to the input node of the inverter. The switch may be connected between an output node of the inverter and the first node of the resistor. An input node of the driver may correspond to an input node of the circuit and the output node of the driver may correspond to an output node of the circuit.
